  2. Error message - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_message

    On Windows, notification icons appear in the System Tray. On Mac OS X, notification icons may appear in the menu bar, or may take the form of an application's icon "bouncing" in the Dock. The GNOME user interface for Unix systems can display notification icons in a panel.

  3. Windows Error Reporting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Error_Reporting

    The Problem Reports and Solutions Control Panel applet was replaced by the Maintenance section of the Action Center on Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2.. A new app, Problem Steps Recorder (PSR.exe), is available on all builds of Windows 7 and enables the collection of the actions performed by a user while encountering a crash so that testers and developers can reproduce the situation for analysis ...

  4. Stack buffer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_buffer_overflow

    This almost always results in corruption of adjacent data on the stack, and in cases where the overflow was triggered by mistake, will often cause the program to crash or operate incorrectly. Stack buffer overflow is a type of the more general programming malfunction known as buffer overflow (or buffer overrun). [ 1 ]

  5. Data corruption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_corruption

    Some file systems, such as Btrfs, HAMMER, ReFS, and ZFS, use internal data and metadata checksumming to detect silent data corruption. In addition, if a corruption is detected and the file system uses integrated RAID mechanisms that provide data redundancy, such file systems can also reconstruct corrupted data in a transparent way. [18]

  6. Hang (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_(computing)

    In many cases programs may appear to be hung, but are making slow progress, and waiting a few minutes will allow the task to complete. Modern operating systems provide a mechanism for terminating hung processes, for instance, with the Unix kill command, or through a graphical means such as the Task Manager's "end task" button in Windows (select the particular process in the list and press "end ...

  7. Memory corruption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_corruption

    The most likely causes of memory corruption are programming errors (software bugs). When the corrupted memory contents are used later in that program, it leads either to program crash or to strange and bizarre program behavior. Nearly 10% of application crashes on Windows systems are due to heap corruption. [1]

  8. Exception handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling

    Exceptions are defined by different layers of a computer system, and the typical layers are CPU-defined interrupts, operating system (OS)-defined signals, programming language-defined exceptions. Each layer requires different ways of exception handling although they may be interrelated, e.g. a CPU interrupt could be turned into an OS signal.

  9. Soft error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_error

    In this application the glass is formulated with a boron content of 4% to 5% by weight. Naturally occurring boron is 20% 10 B with the remainder the 11 B isotope. Soft errors are caused by the high level of 10 B in this critical lower layer of some older integrated circuit processes. Boron-11, used at low concentrations as a p-type dopant, does ...
